Reason #1: An unsupported claim that countywide voting on Election Day would lead to "corruption"

While thousands of registered voters are turned away from polling places on every Election Day in our county, the Denton County Republican Party chair is blocking a change from our outdated Election Voting system.

She's given six reasons for blocking countywide Election Day voting -- all based on unfounded claims and the belief that voting rules should be set for the convenience of her party's candidates and insiders, not the needs of voters.

Although we can vote anywhere in the county during Early Voting, our county's current law requires that on Election Day we must vote only at our home precinct polling location. Across Texas, nearly 100 counties with 85% of the state’s voters, have changed this rule to allow countywide voting on Election Day – Vote Centers.

Here's the first of her six stupid reasons for keeping our outdated system: Countywide voting would open the door to corruption...but she doesn't say how this would happen. 

We have countywide voting NOW during Early Voting when more than half of all Denton County voters cast their ballots. (All Texas voters can vote anywhere in their county during Early Voting and have done so for decades.)

Instances of voter fraud related to countywide voting are extremely rare because our voting system updates every few minutes with information on all voters who have been issued a ballot anywhere in the county.

We have a secure voting system with a paper ballot backup for every vote cast. This is the same system we use on Election Day, when it’s just as secure.

Don’t fall for her unsupported claims.
